Tag Archives: left-handed screwdriver

It took me almost a full minute to realize this was a joke, along the lines of tartan paint, or a solar-powered flashlight. Took a while because I was searching for left-handed tools on the Web–why not? they make left-handed guitars– after watching Mr. B., who is left handed, struggle to turn a screw last night at a Cub Scout meeting. It was his Wolf den meeting where tools were introduced to the boys, most of whom have seen the tools but not had a chance to try to use them. Turning a screw to the right is more difficult if you’re left handed. Like turning a door knob to the right. It’s just something he’s going to have to adapt to, probably using his right hand. Fortunately, he already bats right handed in baseball and prefers to throw right handed, as well.
